Card for the Day: The Power to Tell
Hello to all!!It's been a few weeks since we've pulled a card. So I'm back today with a relatively new-to-me oracle style deck. Several months ago, I went on a ((silent)) retreat at a fantastic spiritual retreat center in The Catskills of NY, that I have frequented over the years called The Peace Village. The… Continue reading Card for the Day: The Power to Tell
Dear Santa…
Not to be confused with the funny 2024 Holiday movie starring Jack Black as Satan... it's that time of year. (That movie was really touching, btw.) ((As was Nutcrackers, with Ben Stiller... unrelated))For over a decade, since I've been a 'grown up' I write a yearly letter to Santa. At times, the letters were more… Continue reading Dear Santa…
Looking for Light
My alarm clock goes off around 6:30 am, and each day it's been darker and darker - harder and harder to 'rise and shine'. I click on the little lantern in my oldest daughter's window to encourage her awake, and beg her not to fall back asleep (while I guiltily steal 10 more minutes in… Continue reading Looking for Light

Let me keep distracting myself with all of my goals.But goal setting, dreaming, isn't that a good thing? Aren't we supposed to do all of those things?Well...… Continue reading Chasing
Crystal for the Day: Pearl Calcite
We are going to be working out of a really fantastic crystal oracle deck today. Several years ago when my family and I moved to the Adirondacks, I stumbled upon a great crystal deck at Dartbrook Rustic Goods, a little shop in Keene NY. The Lavish Earth deck is BY FAR the best crystal deck… Continue reading Crystal for the Day: Pearl Calcite

Card for the Day: 5 of Wands
We are working with some fiery wand energy today my friends!! The deck our card has been pulled from is The Wise Dog tarot, by MJ Cullinane. I LOVE this deck. I bought it about two years ago because the image on the side of the box showing two sled dogs, reminded me so much… Continue reading Card for the Day: 5 of Wands
